Heather McManamy faced her breast cancer bravely — and with humor. The mother of one created a book of cards for all of the special occasions to come in her daughter’s life that will be published in a book called Cards for Brianna. When she passed away last week, on December 15, her wit and verve were apparent in the goodbye note she had instructed her husband to post to Facebook the next day.

“So… I have some good news and some bad news,” she wrote. “The bad news is, apparently, I’m dead. Good news, if you’re reading this, is that you are most definitely not (unless they have wifi in the afterlife).”

McManamy encouraged her friends to have a “kickass party” and promised to haunt them. She also asked that her friends and family never say to Brianna that her mother was “lost” to cancer, but that the way she lived each day with cancer was a victory.

This is a disgrace. Where is the UK foreign office in all of this? Aras Amiri now joins another British-Iranian, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, in notorious Evin prison on bogus charges. @foreignofficehttps://t.co/DJX0knhdot
